Waverley to Wembley in the Wet
After short-notice sickness impacted the availability of Caledonian Sleeper's guards again, the Up Lowlander last night was cancelled and instead used as a static hotel for the night in Waverley.
The empty stock was then repositioned by GB Railfreight Class 92, 92033 on 5M11 06:30 Edinburgh Waverley to Wembley Inter City Depot. This ensured the stock was in position for the following evening's services.
The ECS move is seen passing Eaton Lane just south of Hartford in inclement conditions.
This was the third working day in a row that I'd seen the Up Lowlander (or its stock) - it should pass here at c.0400 in the dark!
